1967 Mercury Cougar V8 Interceptor Rear Suspension Upgrades - Stacey David's Gearz S4 E13
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Stacey rolls the V8 Interceptor Cougar back into the shop and begins upgrading the rear-end and rear suspension to handle all the massive power that has been stuffed under the hood. The parts are flyin’ as in goes a custom 3-link torque arm suspension, a 9” Ford rear-end, and a tubular sub-frame to prevent the car from flexing. If you have a classic Mustang or Cougar, you’re gonna want to see this! Then Stacey shows you where to get parts for your Mustang or Cougar project by paying a visit to a special salvage yard that specializes only in… you guessed it… Classic Cougars! If you’ve ever wondered where to get those special parts….now you know. After that we take a trip to Michigan Tech to check out their amazing testing facilities and put some actual products to the test. It’s all here… and it’s all GEARZ!

Restored mine in 92-93 when there was no KZread, ebay or internet, swapmeets and boneyards at best for many parts. Was a shop in town, Mid America Mustang, now closed and John's Classic Cougar that's still around last I checked that does have some used and new parts and many new oem repops, had to fab my own frame connectors, used 2x2x 1/8, butt welded 1 piece to front frame angled down, welded another piece straight back to rear frame and a final short piece went vertical up between frame and 2nd section since rear frame is right at 2" wider than the front. Mocked them up with wood then fabbed them up, worked great, fabbed other reinforcements here and there and still going to add a few more up front I've seen lately, Definitely an export brace, shock towers, maybe reinforce front frame under the floor pan. 450hp+ stiffer the better, you can feel the difference!!!
Great episode and tutorial Stacy, the rear suspension upgrade kit by Total Cost Involved is awesome.

Thank you!
Good luck with the Comet and your new shop
Those old cougars were a very beautiful looking cars! I really hated it when they changed the body style in the 70's it totally blew the entire look of the car! My Father had a 1970 Cougar Eliminator with The 351 drive train. It was the coolest car he had that I can remember. I was born in 1960 and to me that would have been my hand me down car! Unfortunately he was cut off by a semi on the highway and the car was torn in half. he was lucky he had survived with minor injuries. If I had the money I totally get one of those and do a resto-mod like you are doing on the interceptor! very very cool Stacy!

Thanks! I'm glad he survived that wreck.

Enjoyed!!! 👍👍
Very cool! Just picked up a 68 and a lot of good ideas here.
I am intrigued by the asymettrical initial flame path on the E3 plugs. I have yet to run across an explanation of best indexing practices - anyone know?
